Targus Wireless Laser Rechargeable Notebook Mouse problem

On January 6, 2008 I purchased a new Laptop and Targus AMW15US mouse. It worked fine for about 5 weeks.Then it quit working and the laptop noted that the item (receiver for mouse) plugged into the USB port was no longer recognized by the Vista software.. I attempted to get it working to no avail.

Thank-you for your assistance Jastababe. I believe you are probably correct in your assessment. However, I now have a new mouse that works very well and I have decided to stay with it. I'll chalk up my poor choice of an Argus to experience.Thank-you for your assistance Jastababe. I believe you are probably correct in your assessment.

I have the exsact same problem. but the website doesn't have the software for download.

When I tried a message said that the product was moved to a different site..... What?! Isn't Targus Product Support supposed to be on the Targus website?... I have the exsact same problem. but the website doesn't have the software for download.

Exactly the same issue. I was using mouse yesterday, no problem, then this a.m., not working/not recognized. No chanegs to system to my knowledge (unless an MS update "fixed" something) Am running XP on a Tablet PC.Exactly the same issue.

I was also using my Targus AMW15US laser mouse for about 6 months then suddenly Windows doesn't recognize the USB receiver device (Unknown Device) when I plugged it in one day. Device Manager is saying the driver for the device is not found. I'm using Windows XP. Do I need to upgrade or reinstall any Windows USB or mouse driver?

The mouse worked initially....have you tried doing a system restore back to a few weeks ago to see if that solves the problem.. With Vista and so many of it's incompatibility issue's...you maybe have downloaded something and it corrupted your software for that mouse...

Here is the url with vista drivers. Redownload the drivers and install...see if this helps

Rechargeable batteries do expire after a while either get new ones or get a battery tester to see how much life they have left. under normal circumstances a new set of batteries last me about two weeks before i have to recharge them and my computer stays on 24/7 including the mouse with at least 5 or more hours of use per day.

Try this: on the base of
the mouse, there's a red syncing button. Press both that and the black
reset button on the base of the
USB-connected charger. The laser light should become steady after a
moment, indicating that the mouse is in sync with the laptop. (during
this period the light should be blinking until it is synced) You
may have to press the reset button multiple times. Hope this helps.
